would later become a lawyer and he defended the kidnappers of the Lindberg
children.

An extra throw had to decide the winner of the St.Louis discus, as Sheridan
and Ralph Rose had both thrown an equal 39.28
m. Sheridan threw 1.52 m further.
He won two gold (Shot, Discus) and three silver (standing high and long jumps,
stone throw) at Athina in 1906.
The competitions of Standing High Jump and Discus, Greek style, were going
on at the same time, but still Sheridan managed to finish in the top-four
in both.
His 25th place in the pentathlon is because he had to withdraw after the
first event because of injury. He had been the big favorite, and his withdrawal
threw the competition wide open.
